It is also a book which, like Chapman Pincher's Inside Story, will repay repeated re-reading. But amidst all the new material a surprising amount of these putative 'unseen' activities have already been identified. It confirms that, from the mid-1970s the spook-wise British left-- the line which begins with the Leveller, the State Research collective and Time Out-- basically ...

... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Clandestine Caucus) Special Issue Last| Contents| Next The Clandestine Caucus The Crozier operations Running through much of this activity in the 1970s was Brian Crozier who had been warning about the rise of the British Left since the late 1960s. Crozier takes us back to the CIA operation the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) discussed in chapter five. The CIA control of the CCF and the magazine Encounter began to be threatened with exposure in 1963 when, reviewing an anthology from the magazine, Conor Cruise O'Brien wrote that 'Encounter's first loyalty is to America'; and an editorial in the Sunday Telegraph referred to a secret and regular subvention to Encounter from ...

(c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 17) November 1988 Last| Contents| Next Issue 17 Brian Crozier, the Pinay Circle and James Goldsmith In Lobster 11 we included a little appendix on 'the Pinay Circle'. Lobster 11 was done at full-tilt, researched, written and produced in about 4 months, and there were a number of bits and pieces we didn't evaluate which went undigested into the appendices. One was this Pinay Circle. At the time all we had was a couple of references to it, status unknown. But it looked interesting. Since then we have made a couple of discoveries. One was the text reproduced below. This is one of a handful ...

CROZIER Brian Rossiter: Although Crozier has always denied his connections to intelligence organisations it has been accepted in a number of publications that Crozier is some sort of intelligence asset both for MI6 and the CIA. It is probable that he was recruited either in the war when it was quite normal practise to recruit journalists for propaganda purposes- 1936 Journalist ...

... G know this?' Mr G defected in 1985, around the time of Lobster 6, and it seems very unlikely to me that the KGB would have come across something as piffling as the then Lobster. I'm flattered that Mr G has heard of Lobster but the KGB bit was just a little smear from Mr G's current sponsors. Crozier gets first bite The present burst of G-exploitation false-started in 1993 with Brian Crozier's memoir, Free Agent. On p. 115 he named Labour MPs or former MPs Stan Newens, Jo Richardson, Joan Lestor, Frank Allaun and Joan Maynard as 'confidential contacts' of the Soviet embassy and 'fellow travelling MPs'. Crozier had been told of ...

(see Times 29 October 1984), and this is quite the worst- and worst-written- thriller I've read (even worse than The Spike). Rather like The Spike, the Andropov Deception is supposed to be a kind of roman 'a clef, revealing, in fictional form, information the author is unable or unwilling to reveal overtly. In this instance, from what I picked up from a nose-holding skim, Crozier is ...

... spotting and a bit of propagandising on behalf of 'moderate' trade union leaders. The fifth organisation was the Institute for the Study of Conflict (ISC), at that point only 18 months from its formal registration as a charity (sic). (11) ISC's inclusion in this grouping is less surprising than it might look. Brian Crozier (B ), ISC's founder, had established links with the British domestic anti-union, anti-left organisations in the 1960s. He edited the 1970 anthology We Will Bury You which included pieces by David Williams (editor of Common Cause journal) and Harry Welton (publicity director of the Economic League).

... 20 years, the CCF was both a propaganda operation and a rich source of recruitment access to a wide range of the political and cultural elites of other countries (This latter point is generally omitted-- and is from Coleman's book.) This was reviewed in the December 1990 edition of the conservative British journal The Salisbury Review by Brian Crozier, who would only be flattered to be described as one of our leading cold warriors. Declaring an interest, Crozier describes how he was appointed by the CCF in 1965 to develop the CCF news services. Crozier has always maintained he knew nothing of the CIA connection at the time and describes here how CCF hired (or recruited) ...

Andrew has adopted the fallback position of the British secret state circa 1990: ignore Wallace, Gordon Winter, the private armies episode, the Crozier operations, the forgeries and the psy-ops, and focus on the John Ware interview with Wright in which he implied that the 'plot' consisted only of himself. Thus there was no plot; thus Wilson was just a paranoid old fool, a conspiracy theorist.6 Andrew portrays MI5 in the post WW2 era as cautious, apolitical bureaucrats, defending ...
